Why I am a Liberal.
1) I want to feel I am an important person. I need to feel like my life means something, and since I do not believe in God, or an afterlife, I must feel important now. So I need a mission, a cause, to save the world. Raising a family, going to work to be a productive person, just does not cut it for me - it's not enough since everyone before me has done that.
2) I need to feel superior, morally and intellectually, to the average person. Most people are just schmucks doing the daily grind only trying to make money, waste their time raising kids, or believing in a fairy tale religion. As a liberal, I can claim association with all kinds of intellectuals and pretend I am one of them.
3) I would like to have other people pay for my well-being without making a lot of sacrifices. I would like to stay in school until I am 40 and have the government give me free education for as long as I want. That way I never have to leave my fun college town life.
4) I like to get angry and yell at people and generally be hateful. If I was a conservative and did that, I would be branded a hateful racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, xenophobe, and every type of phobe out there. On the other hand, as a liberal, I am lauded as a social justice warrior.
5) I want to live life with no responsibility but still have all the benefits of hard work.
6) I want to be a hedonist and pleasure myself at the expense of others. I hate religion or the concept of God since both hinder my pursuit of pleasure and my life choices guided by the fundamental principle of selfishness (me first).
